Book Blogger Hop is another post I'm going to be trying out and this one has a topic each week, which is something I've been trying to bring to the blog. I'm really excited about this one because I have a hard time coming up with something fresh to talk about and I'm hoping this helps.

24th - 30th - Do you continue with a book even though you aren't liking it? (submitted by Elizabeth @ Silver's Reviews)

Okay, my views on this has changed throughout the years. When I first started blogging I made myself read through every book that I wanted to review. I never DNF'd anything, I wish I hadn't done this, I ended up in the biggest reading slump of my life, I wasn't reading for fun anymore and that was a problem for me.

Now, I read for fun, I read what I want and enjoy reading. So, if I'm reading a book and within 50 to 75 pages and I'm just not into it, I won't force myself to read it. I might put it down and try again later though. Sometimes as a reader I'm just not in the mood for a certain genre. Sometimes it works and I go back to a book and end up loving it, most of the time though it doesn't.

What are your thoughts on this one? Do you force yourself to continue reading even if you aren't enjoying a book? If so why?

You, Me, & Letting Go! By Katie Kaleski

Publication Date: May 14, 2019

Publisher: Swoon Romance

A love so epic, no label is needed.

Van
Sato’s got labels. Tourettes, ADHD, SPD - words that have defined his
existence since the time he was old enough to know what they meant. Now,
Van wants to prove he’s more than an acronym, a syndrome, a problem
kid. He takes a summer job as a day camp counselor to prove he’s capable
of independence and moving on to the next phase in his life. Maybe, he
might even make a friend while there. Someone who’s got just as many or
even more labels than him. Someone who understands what it’s like.

Tabby
Dubanowksi wants to forget about everything, the hospitalization, the
judgment, the whispers behind her back. As a camp counselor, she will be
admired, looked up to, and able to help people who don’t know anything
about her old life. Tabby wants a fresh start and a chance to re-ignite
her passion for film-making, if only for one summer.

After
running away from their pasts, Van and Tabby collide in a storm cloud of
attraction laced with self-doubt, insecurity, shame, and blame. Now,
with Van feeling like he might have to quit his job, and Tabby
struggling to quell the urge to cut, they will struggle to find
themselves in a world designed to keep them apart.

Katie Kaleski has started down many career paths and held many jobs—indie craft store clerk, pizza maker, photo developer, shoe salesperson and cashier, dental assistant in the army, daycare teacher, student teacher—but her favorite one by far is being a writer.

She’s originally from Chicago, so she says things like pop, gym shoes, and front room. Her favorite food
group is sugar, and she loves writing young adult novels.
